England have called up Dan Lawrence, who last played a test match in March 2022, to replace 24-year-old Brook in the squad.
“The Brook family respectfully requests privacy during this time,” the ECB said in a statement.“In light of this, the ECB and the family kindly request the media and the public to respect their wish for privacy and refrain from intruding on their private space.”The five-test series against India begins in Hyderabad on Thursday.
